On View: MoMA – “Migration Series” (Jacob Lawrence)

This is going to be on view during our trip to the MoMA!

“In 1941, Jacob Lawrence, then just twenty-three years old, completed a series of sixty paintings about the Great Migration, the mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North. Lawrence’s work is a landmark in the history of modern art and a key example of the way that history painting was radically reimagined in the modern era.”
